HOWTO: Check Your Homeland Security Travel File By Ryan Singel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> EmailSeptember 26, 2007 <http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/travelhistory_alex-s.jpg> Are you interested in knowing what travel information is being stored about you by the Department of Homeland Security? Wondering if somehow your airport reading material was recorded and kept in their records? The Identity Project now has up an easy-to-use set of forms so you can make your own Privacy Act request to see what data powers the government's assessment of your terrorism potential whenever you fly into or out of the country. See <http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/2007/09/flight_tracking> U.S. Airport Screeners Are Watching What You Read, and the Washington Post's front page <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/21/AR200709210 2347.html> follow-up. Find the forms on the <http://www.unsecureflight.com/request.html> "Read Your Own DHS Travel Dossier" site. Be aware however that government bureaucrats can try to stymie your request. Wired News employees and contributors made nearly identical requests in June, but the government sat on the requests and then sent them all back saying they required photocopies of passports, even though that's NOT required under the regulations. I've placed several calls to Customs and Border Protection to find out exactly what they think the requirements are and will update this post when I hear back. SUGGESTION: If you're interested in accessing the "READ YOUR OWN DHS TRAVEL DOSSIER" site, you might want to hang onto this email as I can't guarantee getting a followup.
